2025 Yamaha R9! | I Think This Bike Will Be Epic!

[@steve00alt70]

This is why the uk bike industry is going bust rider age, bike prices, cost of living. 44Teeth did a vid on it.

[@moctarjohnson8887]

Spicy ive been following you since my cbt and have now just put a deposit on a 07 sv650s, thanks for inspiring me to get up on 2 wheels ✌️

[@spicy110]

That is awesome!

[@HippoDrones]

It is a great engine, love it in my XSR900 GP. You mentioned your Yamaha dealership has closed down, my local one has too... is a bit worrying to see so many dealerships struggling or going, especially when it is the big manufacturers that seem to be vanishing

[@Nejfun]

You put across great points about the R9; I still think 117bhp for a supersport is totally pathetic compared to all other brands. Even in motogp they can't make power it's like they have fully given up due to funding.

[@therealquaid1694]

They make plenty of power in Moto GP however they lack rear grip to actually benefit from it.

[@NUFC2412]

Totally agree. New GSX 8R 81 BHP !!!! Modern bikes dying

[@Kai-Lo]

Dw, a shorty exhaust and ecu tune can get it over 125whp

[@Ro6entX]

Personally, I’d like to see the R6 come back. No idea what knuckleheads in charge thought it was good idea to stop.

[@Tim9999999991]

Would you go out and buy a new one tomorrow though.

They can’t get it through the new emissions. Blame EU

[@Ro6entX]

@@Tim9999999991No, I’m happy with my older model R6; but my original point still stands.

[@chrisdavidson911]

Sales vs development cost, if it was worth doing they'd have done it.

[@HippoDrones]

@@Ro6entX this is the issue... lots of people say they want this bike or that bike, but they don't have any real desire to buy them.

I have my 1290r since I was 24. If young riders wanna ride bike CC bikes at a young age. They'll need to put in the time & money. I had to pay for my licence twice, my A2 & A licence. I'd do it again aswell, only thing I regret is not doing my A2 at 19 instead of 21. That would mean I could get my A licence at 21 instead of 23. That just sit on a MT-07 for a few more years, getting more NCB & experience. I sold my MT-07 to pay for some of the bike. I still had to pay quite a bit off, i've almost paid it all off tho just over a year. my insurance is 110 a month. Was 78 but auto renew. If you want a big bike at a young age, save up money & buy an MT-07 or R7 on finance if you have a stable job or get something cheaper. Then put that money towards the bike you truly want when you can do the A licence. Looks like the V-TWINS will be the only powerful bikes to stay.

[@neilsmith5883]

R1 great bike back in the 90s early 2000 but on the road now, nah.

[@captainaverage721]

Hopefully, Triumph will eventually realise there is a demand for a 3cy sports bike and bring out a 765 Daytona

[@midlife-crysis]

Only old People can afford a luxury toy like the r1…. And the rest can’t get insurance for anything that is super sports.

[@Antcake121]

Could you do a video about getting a used electric motobike cbt 125cc or the vmoto stash

[@MTBrider26]

In Australia I'm predicting it will be a sales disaster. It's $24000 but you can get zx6r for 7k less. No thanks Yamaha.

[@adiohead]

The space above the engine from the side looks weird. Like an old 50cc or 125cc. I love the CP3 engine though, have it in my 2019 XSR900 so know how good it is.

[@alivekicking6247]

@Spicy... assuming the R9 is all we think it will be, bringing cost new into the equation, would you go for the R9 or the GSX8R Suzuki?

[@alivekicking6247]

Spicy?

[@HippoDrones]

very different bikes

[@alivekicking6247]

@@HippoDrones I know

[@alivekicking6247]

I just reserved one

[@leopardpro2878]

It's literally a fully faired MT09, has the frame of the MT09 with a better subframe and better forks with clip ons

[@TalonTSI95]

It literally just shares the same engine, switch gear and electronics.

[@leopardpro2878]

@@TalonTSI95 there is less than 20% difference between them

[@TalonTSI95]

@@leopardpro2878 Yeah maybe you're right. They're on display at dealers though, so we know that it at least has different wheels, tires, front and rear suspension, gas tank, lights, brand new gravity cast frame, seat, clip-ons, mirrors, fairings, winglets, brakes, steel braided brake lines, two less teeth in the rear sprocket, different rake, different trail, wheelbase, seat hight, completely different riding triangle, even the breadbox exhaust now has two holes instead of one, so the internals are different... Time will tell, I guess.

[@leopardpro2878]

@@TalonTSI95 LMAO I applaud you for going through all of that, you're right, you win butttttttttttttt still a MT09 with fairings 😂😂 If I customise my MT09 and change the parts you said, it's still a MT09 😎

[@foodmaniac9339]

So mt10 is an r1 according to you. 🤦​@@leopardpro2878

[@EUKBIKER]

Does that have a similar engine to the Tracer 900?

[@chrishart8548]

Same really

[@EUKBIKER]

@@chrishart8548 not sure if it does was asking if its got same engine or new engine. They often like reusing a platform

[@EUKBIKER]

@@chrishart8548 just looked it up... Yup same engine different ECU to make more HP. Also why is it a shame if its the MT-09 engine? I have a Yamaha Tracer 900, its a good bike, i believe its underrated. Did 300 miles from north to south none stop yesterday on it and today went up and round Dartmoor before it started raining.

[@paultanton4307]

Modern Manufacturing practises - build one Engine and use it accross multiple different platforms.

[@EUKBIKER]

@@paultanton4307 i mean if its reliable might as well use it right?

[@MartynSmith-yw9lb]

Have you seen the 2025 Honda cb1000r?

[@spicy110]

Yer I thought it was a Kawasaki from the looks at first.

[@MartynSmith-yw9lb]

@@spicy110same here 😂 my mate has the 2019 cb1000r and I love it when I get on it, power in every gear and pulls like a freight train and that is in standard mode.

[@spicy110]

That is a 1000 for you!

[@Ravan_Caw]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve been wanting this bike for a few years, since I got my Mt09 but it’s a disappointment to be honest. Hate wings on anything bike and the available colours look crap, Yamaha missed an opportunity with this bike. I might forgive all that if I get to ride one, trouble is all the Yamaha dealers have closed down near me.

[@NUFC2412]

Really disappointing power for a 900cc bike !!!. Emissions killing new sports bikes. Sad future for bikes

[@chrishart8548]

Didn't the 675 daytona make more hp than this R9 ?

[@NUFC2412]

​@chrishart8548 yeah about 120 plus. But again older bike. Sadly "sportsbikes" going forward are going to be so sad power wise. But people will continue to dress them up like they are worth it. They just aren't given what u get back.

[@NUFC2412]

R1 binned GSXR1000 binned. 2 examples of where it's heading

[@chrishart8548]

Killing cars and bikes. I've got an EV car now. Anything after euro 5 was almost undrivable due to awful fueling. I have a euro 3 bike with a cable throttle thank God. All the emissions control equipment has killed ICE. The DPF is literally the Kiss of death for a diesel engine. Everything else seems to have a small turbo (with bushings not roller bearings) and a wet belt.
